The breadth of individuals that come to Over-the-Rhine during the day and evening, there is a constant influx of people from everywhere. The draw for this area has become regional. People from Louisville and other places are coming because they have heard about Over-the-Rhine. It is becoming a destination.

4) Do you have a favorite place you like to go in OTR? (Restaurant, bar, shop, place to exercise, theatre, etc.)
